I have several documents made in older CorelDraw versions. Problem- When I tried to add new pages to the existing document, the Document Grid appeared only in the new page. And these cannot be removed. Worse, it is printed everytime. There is no way for me to remove it.
PS: These problem did not appear in new documents created in CorelDraw x6. It occurs in CorelDraw x6 when using older version files.
I am trying to group 10 objects together but every time i try to group them I get a message saying "Operation could not be completed. Active layer document grid is locked or invisible."
But even when i turn on the document layer visibility it still won't let me group them, and I can't turn the print or edit buttons on.
I'm trying to use Gimp to add a visible grid to a printed picture, so thatI can use it as a guide when painting a copy of the pic. I haven't beenable to figure out how from the documentation. There is a grid, and itshows on screen, but not when I print.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI own a company that designs and sells sewing patterns for men's clothing to be made by home sewers. I have my patterns professionally drafted and sent to me as a poster-sized PDF. I then open it in Illustrator, move things around, change some fonts, etc... and make a 34" wide copy to be printed at a copy shop. That's all fine and dandy, and it prints out perfectly.
I then use Acrobat XI Pro to open the 34" version and print to Adobe PDF with the poster setting of 7.5" x 10" for people to print at home. Then I open each page of the multi-page PDF in Illustrator to add a border, alignment marks, page numbers, etc... and save as the same PDF.
Now here is where the weirdness begins. For some reason, there are random chunks of lines (identical to the pattern lines throughout the rest of the document) that aren't supposed to be there. They don't show up on my screen when I open the file in Illustrator or Adobe, but they get printed every time. I've even started the whole process from scratch, tested the 34" wide version at the print shop (prints perfectly), and split it into pages again, and the phantom lines are still there!
I've attached a photo I took of one of the pages in question. The file on my screen is the exact one I printed, and as you can see, they are definitely not the same
I have been saving the PDF files as Press Quality from Illustrator.
I have created a document, and when I printed it out to see how it turned out, I noticed that I left margins on all four sides. I need the document to fill the page in its entirety, as it is going to be one of those "tear off the phone number at the bottom" type of advertisements.
Is there some way that I can "zoom in" everything that I've created, so it fills an entire 8.5x11 piece of paper?
I'll keep digging while I wait for the wisdom of the forums. Here is a link to the .xcf: [URL] .....
When I add a logo to my artwork in illustrator, import the illustrator file to a word template and print, it changes the printed colours dramatically..(black to blue, green to black and yellow to pink). Do I need to change a setting for that imported logo to make it compatible to print? Without that particular logo, the document prints fine.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've been using Illustrator for quite some time now. I recently got an assignment to design a printed banner (bunting), with the end product size of 3' x 8' (feet).
I was wondering about the document settings I should put in to illustrator before I start designing.
P.S, I'm using Illustrator CS6.
I am running PS CS5.5 on a a MAC running OSX 10.7.3 and printing to an Epson Stylus Photo 2200.
Background:
Basically, the dimensions of a printed graphic are different than the size that is specified in the PS version of the graphic. The amount of error is about 1/16 of an inch over a 6 inch distance. This matters as the printed output must fit a template exactly.
Details:
I create a 300 dpi resolution document. I am using inches as the ruler setting and the method for specifying the size of an object in the Free Transform Dialog. I create, with the rectangle tool, a rectangle and then use command-T to specify the dimensions to be 6 inches X 1 inch. I check using the ruler tool and verify that the shape is 6 X 1. When I print, the object is smaller. In fact, it will be 5 29/32 inches instead of 6 inches.
If I create the same object using Illustrator, the object prints (same printer) exactly the specified dimension. If I place the illustrator object into Photoshop it will "say" that it is 6 inches but prints at the reduced size.
After pulling my hair out, I have just adopted the work-a-round of scaling the output, in the printer dialog, by an appropriate % to compensate. There must be a better way to address this problem.
Printing to an Epson 4900, my document is fine on the preview but when I print it gets slighly enlarged and the edges get cropped.
I even selected scale to fit media and it still got cropped. My image actually gets enlarged ( mesuring the image with a ruler )
I'm having trouble getting both of my printers to print out to the same tone/colour that is displayed on my Monitor. Neither are accurate
Is there anything I can do with my monitor settings, or my photoshop/illustrator colour settings so that what I see on the screen is what will be printed out.
The printers are :
1) Hewlett Packard 1220C
2)Epson Stylus 2100
They both print out differently.
For the HP printer I've looked at the 'Image Colour Management' and it states the 'ICM is handled by host'
For the Epson printer the Colour Management is set to 'Automatic: Windows will automatically select the best colour profile from the list of associated color profiles'
I know it's possible to change the Color Setting in Photoshop but I don't really know what to set it to, and who to set it so it's as close to my monitor display as possible. (I work with RGB colour)
Even though the trial installation has been removed, runs through the entire process and then reports that there is an existing installation.... What should I do?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been having a problem with white boxes appearing in my drawing only when I go to print. I searched this problem before and found a solution but of course can't remember what it was and can't seem to find the solution again. Wished I'd saved the url. From what I remember, it was something to do with bitmap effects. For me the boxes are appearing where I have guassian blurs for others it's drop shadows. I know I can convert the whole drawing to bitmap but that changes the look of my graphic slightly and don't want to do that.

Corel X6, Cor i3, 4 Gb.
We are longtime users of CorelDraw, but recently we have been having lots of problems with printing.
When printing out a page for production, the letters at the end of one piece of text did not show up when printed.The wording was not converted to curves or anything; just plain text split into two lines.
On other occasions, pieces of artwork will not appear when printed. Sometimes it is consistent on multiple computers; other times only one computer will print the errors.
Is this a bug in X5? Is it fixed in X6, or are there still issues of art and text randomly vanishing? Could the printers be at fault?
I have the Guidebook, that is COOL! but does Corel sell a printed content manual? I would love to have that PDF content manual as a printed book. I know it would be 414 pages but it would be cool.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI am printing to a Brother laser printer and a Kodak inkjet using logos in a size I have never used before. None of the content is postscript, none of it should have halftone, and none of it is bitmap-based. I have resized simple CDR and AI vector line art logos for clothing care from large size (about 4") down to 0.25" for a project I am working on. Uniform fill in black is used and some of the logos have outlines and some do not. When I print the tiny logos on the laser printer, even with a DPI or 600 or 1200, some (not all) of the lines have a noticeable saw tooth appearance under magnification, instead of smooth. Fonts that are around 5-point print with clean lines. When I print on the inkjet printer with the same DPI settings, the logos appear smooth under magnification. There may be a hint of a saw tooth, but it is barely noticeable. Font that are around 5-point print with clean lines. Perhaps I went beyond the capabilities of the laser printer, but I question that because the fonts print cleanly with much finer lines than in the logos. Note that I did notice a 45 degree halftone appearance in laser printed text with a uniform fill that was much larger than the logos, even though it is not postscript. This did not occur with the inkjet.
how I can make these logos have crisp solid lines in the tiny size I am using? I'm not printing separations. I haven't found any settings in CorelDraw X5 to fix this.
I just printed of the design for my first t-shirt. There are faint horizontal lines, about 1/2 inch apart, thru an ellipse with a green-blue fountain fill that are not part of the design. Is this my printer, or is there something in the program that I am (not?) doing?
View 6 Replies View RelatedTried the same image printed using corel and Photoshop. same setup: let software handle color, color off in printer, same profiles and settings otherwise. the corel print is a bit darker and some colors are slightly different than the same image printed thru Photoshop.
I usually print designs created in corel as there is added text and graphic elements. Can't print those using PS. just odd there is noticeable color variations.
I have printed off the colour swatch within Versaworks, but when I use the colours (which have been imported from versaworks) in corel they do not print out the same colour. The media is the same. I have tried deleting the colours and readding them in but this does not seem to make any difference.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI am a relatively new user of Corel Draw. When using the variable data print feature, the images seen in the print preview look correct, but when the page is printed the same data is output in all 4 images. This does not happen every time. I suspect there is something going wrong with the print merge data buffer. I have not been able to reproduce the error. I have created a detailed script to for others to follow when running this job.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've received two orders of CDs for a client, and in the printed artwork there are some flaws that have me wondering what to do to avoid this.
Files were submitted in PDF format with text converted to curves. I believe the artwork is then imported into AI at the other end before going to print.
Along the edge of an object with a drop shadow, there is a fine white line showing. On the two products with identical artwork, the line shows on different edges, but appears to be where the drop shadow ends.
In other spots, there is what I would call "scratches", where, within an image there is a fine white line. This is not an edge or overlap, so I'm at a loss for this.
In another place, one character in a word essentially did not print. So I'm wondering what my "best practice" would be to avoid this. Should I "flatten" everything when I'm done, essentially converting the entire page to a single 300DPI bitmap?
Should I include text in the flattened bitmap, or is it best to leave as curves? My gut says leaving as curves preserves maximum resolution, but does it matter if it is not being scaled?
I've never before had issues with getting artwork printed from PDFs. In most cases, I imagine the print is created directly from my submitted PDF.
I did my first logo design for a customer. I exported all the files in CMYK. My customer just let me know that when she printed the logo off on her printer it came out a fushia pink color instead of the dark purple.

I am getting a problem that whenever i exported corel file to pdf. It's showing grid lines on pdf file whereas corel file doesn't showing any gridlines nor i checked "show grid lines".
I know what's causing the problem. The problem is when i updated my CD X5 to X6, In each file a popup palette came saying "to update the text, click update". I clicked on update. Since then this problem is occurring only those file on which i clicked update.Making a new file with copy paste option is last choice.
Is it possible to create a symmetrical grid in a mesh? without having to manually do each node and intersection? A simple square with just a small shape change to a corner causes non-symmetrical patterns in the entire mesh.
How is the mesh in CD different from AI? Of course there is a lot more online content for AI.
